Shatter the Silence

06/01/2018

Forcing survivors to stay silent emboldens lawbreakers and violators. It makes it possible for workplace cultures of harassment, abuse, and exploitation to continue and harm workers. #MeToo and many movements like it have shown the world what women have known all along: in order to make workplaces safer and just for us all, our voices need to be heard.

In California, we’ve fought hard for every law on the books that protects working people. It’s wrong that workers are forced to sign away their right to seek justice if their boss violates those laws. No one should have to give up her rights to earn a livelihood.
